my best friend quit smoking but first tried chantix an had some really bad side effects felt strange awful nightmares an had seazure from chantix doc took her off asap. Also seen on tv a lawyer saying if you had bad side effects from taking chantix or even death pls call today we have law suit in effect.
On Chantix for my 3rd time in 4 years. Side effects getting worse but I have NO CHOICE. I hate smoking and I am an athlete and none of my friends smoke. I have been smoke free for 2 weeks and have no cravings but dream are out of control, I get very sleepy during the day, bloated lilke when I was pregnant. I don't want to give in and just accepting that this is what I have to do in order to stop. Also, I have been so irritated I feel like I could kill someone......
My friend just quit taking Chantix due to the inability to handle the side effects. She has noticed that since quitting the Chantix alcohol has effected her differently. While on the Chantix she noticed the effects of alcohol tokk in quite quickly where now she seems to have a tolerance that was not there before. Is it possible that theh Chantix caused her intolerabilty to alcohol?
It could be the Chantix or if you are female it could be menopause : )
Seriously though, I think that this may have been a side effect listed. Are you having nigthmares along with the night sweats? Here is a number that you can call:
Call 1-866-706-2400. Ask the person on the other end if it is normal.
My experience with Chantix was pretty good but I stopped taking Chantix after my third quit day. All total, a month and a half, and I didn't look back.
PLEASE be careful with Chantix!!!! I have seen commercials on t.v. talking about people having suicidal thoughts while on this drug and know someone that tried to overdose on Xanax while taking Chantix. It doesn't affect everyone this way, of course, but if you start to experience these feelings, stop taking it immediately and call your doctor.
She felt that the nicotine withdrawls, combined with the side effects of the Chantix is what caused the severe anxiety.
Not that I'm pro Chantix, but allow me to play devils advocate for a minute.
When one contemplates quitting and then sets out to do it, there is a profound loss.....like losing your best friend, and we all have to deal with. I myself grieved long and hard. Could your depressed state be that you have finally come to terms with the fact that it is your time to quit?
I used Chantix and mourned the loss but I also used it before it was linked to "possible" suicide.
Last night I looked up Chantix side effects on the web and found HUNDREDS of people with problems like mine that persist long after they stopped taking the pill. Many people in their thirties that just had a heart attack one day out of the blue (this is what I am most afraid of happening to me) Does anyone know how to undo the damage that chantix is causing?
Just go for it and good luck today you can do it. I am on Chantix too and played games with it the first few months like you are smoking here and there. Now I am on Day 16 smoke free and it's a great feeling!! This is the longest I have gone since I started smoking 21 years ago at age 15. Good luck you can do it!!!
I was taking Chantix for about a week and a half when I had to quit it because I was experiencing depression which was getting worse by the day. This is going on the 2nd full day of no Chantix but I am still feeling depressed. I want to know how long does it stay in your system for. I woke up today and felt close to normal and then it came back again.
Since I am struggling with my moods due to lack of meds, I am very concerned about how the nicotine withdrawals if I were to quit cold turkey. Any suggestions? From my research I have found that Chantix is definitely not an option for me.
Go to Google and look up "Chantix side effects." Most frightening. The next time a doctor prescribes any medication for any reason whatsoever, check the internet and with your pharmacist. Doctors are not chemists an never seem to consider the adverse effect of what they give their patients. I took one medication that almost killed me. Now I only trust me and a competent pharmacist.
I used Chantix and had absolutely no extreme effects. A bit of upset stomach was the worst of it. I took it for a month and a half and have been quit for 1 year and 1 month!
There are times when I still feel and urge, especially when stressed, but it goes away in mere seconds and it doesn't happen often : )
I hope you feel better with each day and thanks for offering your help.
Thanks
but, the Chantix reference was just an example, I never took Chantix, but learned about it's side effects during my research
com) which is nicotine free and contains ingredients that relieves the irritability that is related to nicotine withdrawal and also alleviates the cravings for cigarettes. I have read the testimonials and it sounds like a good product. Does anyone have any comments on this product? Thanks!
